The driver's name was David B. The logo on the truck was an elephant. He was headed to a landfill outside of Akron to dump onto its refuse pile decades of failed policies in Mahoning County, as well as the resumés of various convicted, indicted and unindicted cronies. Since he failed to cross the county line, seems we still are stuck with the rotting payload. Film at 11.

A bill was passed by the Republican-controlled house, and since McConnell rescinded Reid's draconian "my way or the highway" rule, the Democrats are pulling a filibuster...but it's the House's fault. AP logic at its finest.

Sounds like one of those classic situations where the out-of-power party member gets the QT go-ahead from the White House to say no to something they know lacks the votes with the proviso that *IF* the in-power party changes their minds, them "you wil evolve your thinking" to support it also. (Heck, Timmy won't even sneeze without Pelosi and Obama's aporoval -- and he wants us to think he has changed??)
